“I had Coast Plumbing do a simple job recently. I don't want to get into all the details but what I will say is that they are very over priced. You may want to get a few estimates before going with Coast. I had no issue with the quality of the work performed.... The cost was absurd though.”
“Jerry that works for Coast Plumbing lied to me. He said I needed a $3000 water heater and I had my friend come to look at the water heater. i told him I'm not paying that much money.

He replaced the garbage disposal because the one I had was …”

I called Coast, and even though they didn't have a technician working, Aaron Wright THE OWNER came out to diagnose the issue, grab the parts from the shop and fixed the broken part of the heating element. Talk about service, professionalism and class! The Wrights know how to treat their …”
